so when we went into iraq and we broke it and we killed saddam hussein we essentially owned iraq. but building a civil society and a democracy in that part of the world is tough business. nato and the united states did a magnificent job in libya. we got the bad guy, qaddafi is gone but leave as void. if we're there in libya now, we're surrounded by the old qaddafi forces and a kind of islamic terrorist organizations, that can trigger street protests at any moment. you know, we think that the, facebook revolution in cairo for the arab spring was a great thing. now we're getting youtube used against us on a video nobody watched but certainly with all the talk about it people are looking at this bad hate film. so these are complicated times. the key is that the united states has to realize we're still fighting a war on terror and our vigilance has to be every day and our embassies need quadruple protected and our marines have to go into libya and places and yemen, and protect our embassies. we can not count on the host countries protecting american property. we have to do it ourselve
